As if H? doesn't get enough attention. There are much more exciting things happening in the world of Illyriad, than talk of the #1 alliance. I have no squabbles with them of course (who in their right mind would openly admit so.) But I grow tired of the majority of new topics/posts involving them.
I propose to all you anti-H? posters, to find other subjects to gab about. I would love to see talk of anything not concerning the almighty H? No offense H?, but your stories are old hat ;)

Slaves to Armok seems like a nice topic to talk about. Why don't you guys talk about cows and kittens being blood donors?
------------- I am not amused.

Apparently Armok requires sacrifice so he doesn't scatter the dust of the dwarf's fortresses. Armok is one of those "Appease me or die" kind of gods. That's why all of the slaves are bloodthirsty berzerkers out to get drunk and slay the most reviled carp.

Is he a slayer of carp? I would love to meet a champion carp slayer, but the closest ones near me never visit.

I think people talk about whatever is exciting at the moment. H? is the only alliance that has been reported as being in active warfare. If other players/alliances were in wars and talked about it, we'd talk about that. As proof of this statement, look through the forums enough and you will see some threads about other warring players. I do admit H? topics get the most participation though. Perhaps that's just natural when you are the top alliance.

It very much is. The largest alliance is always the subject of endless speculation in every social game, just like it gets the most requests for membership by brainless newbies, and the top player gets invited to the most 1-man leet-speaking alliances, etc.
I should note that there are other alliances at war...at least to the same degree that we are "at war." For example, WOTP have their own quarrels with gigi that had nothing to do with us, and there are other such situations. But no one ever talks about Vice President Joe Biden either.

Who? ,
If you want to have something else to talk about, start something.
Peoples' attention is attracted to the loudest speaker, even if it is brief, and the H?/White/Black war and aftermath have had the loudest(longest) threads/arguments since pratically the beginiing of the game give it time and a new fad/war will take everyones attention for a while.

I'm good actually. I ignore the malodorous fumes wafting from the "what to do" thread, and to an extent even the rumors I hear of CranK twisting my words when he repeats them among friends.* For the most part, I keep my attention on factual documentation to help all (like Arcanum Illyria) and projects to improve the game as a whole (like HarmlessButler). And I've recently taken up weaving chain maille, for which I cannot wait to receive my first shipment of high-quality aluminum and copper wire for my first big project (a fashionable halter top). 
*and by the way, CranK, nothing I said to you was in any way expected to be kept in confidence, nor did I at any point suggest you had to keep quiet about anything. I'd far rather, in fact, that you repeated my words in unabridged entirety, rather than trying to paint me as some kind of sympathizer or advocate.

Its just that I respect you the most from all the H? players in Illyriad. I made a promise to myself to stop every offensive words against any H? member about what all happened in the past. And I never have seen you as a advocate, I see you as a man with wise words and a common sence, thats all ;-)

The only thing I dislike about H? is the question mark. It makes for weird sentences in the global chat.
New Player: Hey guys! whats the top alliance? i wanna join the best. Grunvagr: H? New Player: huh? I'm asking you! Grunvagr: H? is the top alliance. New Player: weirdo, how about you answer the question SYSTEM NOTE: New Player has been silenced for 24 hours.

see what I mean? this would have all been easier had you named yourselves Harmful. Abbreviated: H!

Interesting what if. Possibly that would have been just as bad as if they named themselves "Attack Us First!" They might have never made it out of last place.

Perhaps, in a tribute to the late, great, Supreme Majesty, Right Honourable, Lord, Sir* Douglas Adams, H? could generate a second, military-based alliance, and call it "Mostly Harmless?". 
* I may have exaggerated his title a bit.
